“American Horror Story” lucky season 13 will be an all-star reunion in more ways than one. Ryan Murphy teased an Avengers-level new season that sees returning players take on multiple roles.

The return of Jessica Lange and first images had many speculating that the 13th season of FX’s anthology series would pick up from “Coven.” It turns out that’s only partially accurate.

Murphy revealed to Entertainment Tonight that the new season is a sequel to “all seasons combined.” 

Murphy continued, “So Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters, and of course Kathy Bates and Emma Roberts and Billie Lourd. It’s like the Avengers! They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”

To be fair, that is hinted at in the film’s official synopsis: “An unrivaled 13th installment that will do justice to everyone’s most feared number. Bringing together an all-star cast, many of whom are reprising fan-favorite roles, American Horror Story: 13 continues to build on the anthology’s decades-long legacy that has been streamed more than 700 million hours across the globe and spawned a legion of dedicated fans.” 

“American HorrorStory has redefined the genre with various installments featuring a creepy murder house, a coven of witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel and the apocalypse itself. Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await? Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise.”

The detail that this all-star cast would take on every iteration they’ve played throughout twelve seasons, though, is new.

Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, John Carroll Lynch, and Mat Fraser also star.

Newcomers this season include Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Berto Colon (“The Night Agent”), and cult filmmaker John Waters.
